This is not salt: it is not soluble !
That just means it's not salt.
Silica gel is used for the same thing, but has those exact characteristics you mention & usually looks like little clear grains of sand (
very similar to the stuff stuck to your cactus in the pics).
However, I don't think that Silica is edible!!
I don't think I've ever seen it used (
in that way) with food, or anything intended for human consumption. Usually it would be kept in a tiny little denim bag, in the container
with the item that needs to be kept dry.
Keep in mind, the way that
headshops get away with selling these kinds of things is to sell it as
incense, or for
research purposes, or something along those lines.
Somewhere on the package, you'll probably find written:
"This Product Is For Research Purposes Only! Not Sold For Human Consumption"
or,
"This Product Is Sold As An Incense Only And Is Not Intended For Human Consumption"
So depending on who their supplier is, it may truly not be intended (or safe), for human consumption.
Just because it is being sold at a headshop does not mean that it is safe to eat,
or that it even has any alkaloids in it (
Quite the opposite in fact ).
Or that the guy behind the counter has any idea what he's talking about, or what it even is!!!
He's just selling pipes!

A lot of Hydroponic is grown in a small amount of loose sand, to help the plant hold itself up & have something to root into.
So if you end up with a few particles of sand in your hydro, that isn't really all that strange.
However, if you've got a gram of sand in the bag, someone thinks your a chump & sold you a gram of sand on purpose!!:lol:
Also, as far as the weed laced with Heroin, or PCP goes, in 25 years I've
never once seen this, or personally know anyone who has experienced or seen this!!
Unless, it was being sold as a joint with something extra added and you always have to
pay more for it!!
!!News Flash!!
Narcotics are all about making
money!!
Not turning people on!!
They are not given away for free!!
Anyone ever heard of, or remember
Refer Madness? Effects are still lingering apparently...
"
Don't do drugs...cause drugs are baaad...m'kay...like mari-jewana m'kay...you could get some pot that was...ummmm...laced with PCP, or heeeeroin...m'kaaaay...and that would be baaad...m'kay..." :roll:
Oh...and ah, Propaganda is baaaad...m'kaaaay.:twisted:
If you want to find to find a joint laced with something, your going to have to look for it pretty damn hard...& pay for it too!!
Or, I suppose you could lace it yourself!!:lol:
